DanDaMan1487 used our newssubmit to tell us:
About 500 songs circulating Napster are infected with the virus "MusicPanel." If you have a song that is infected with the virus, on the 4th of July it will activate and destroy your hard-drives! |
I don't know what they mean by "destroy," but this thing can cause serious damage! The only advice that I have is to not play any MP3's on the 4th of July! The source page is in Russian, though.
As a Virus Analyst of profession i can say that this is a HOAX. Don't believe a shit of about this "virus". If you read closer it also say's that if you burn the MP3 onto cd, it will also destroy the medium.
So to all Americans: Celebrate without fear.
Argument 1: Mp3 aren't Executeable
Argument 2: It say's that it is able to run on Windows, Linux, Unix, mac. Too much trouble to make a multiplatform virus, and if someone did it would be easily recognizeable.
